Fabric Stash Archeology

Detail showing animal print background, Ebb&Flow 17, 2009

My fabric stash is very small by most standards, so how could I have forgotten I had still have 2m of the background animal print above? I thought I’d used it all leaving only small bits in the scrap bag. But last week, in a downsizing and passing-on mood I was thrilled and rather surprised to find I still had 2m. Though I’ve handed on a good sized bag of fabric, not all fabric is equal, and this was special to me the moment I saw it. I remember I was inspired to buy the remainder of the bolt at the time, and will carefully plan how I use this unexpected windfall soon.
